When you move toward designing and delivering mobile learning
experiences, many common questions come up. How do you shrink a complex, computer-based,
live learning experience down to mobile size for learners on the go? How can you
teach nuanced, sophisticated soft skills to a senior-level audience using a mobile
platform? What’s different and challenging about designing mobile courseware?

Designing effective and engaging courses for mobile delivery
presents a new set of challenges. In this session, you’ll walk through a process
for mobile instructional design that addresses practical solutions to constraints
such as small screen size, limited typing, and short learning windows. You’ll also
take a closer look at a case study to learn about a design and prototyping process
that resulted in a mobile learning solution praised by senior-level practitioners
for its ease of use and depth of content.

In this session, you will
learn:

About challenges encountered in mobile course design

Creative solutions to optimize learning and engagement
without sacrificing usability in mobile delivery

Strategies, techniques, and tips to deliver soft-skills
training in a mobile format

A successful design and prototyping approach to mobile
course development
